By numerical modelling of a test procedure, this paper investigates the delamination phenomenon in Glass/Vinylester composite laminated. An Arcan apparatus and specimen is modeled by finite elements for different loading conditions. The finite element results indicate that for loading angles close to pure mode-II loading, a high ratio of mode-II to mode-I fracture is dominant and there is an opposite trend for loading angles close to pure mode-I loading. It confirms that by varying the loading angle of Arcan specimen pure mode-I, pure mode-II and a wide range of mixed-mode loading conditions can be created and tested. Also, numerical results confirm that the increase of the mode- II loading contribution leads to an increase of fracture resistance in the Glass/Vinylester composite i.e., a reduction in the total strain energy release rate.
